The right assistant minister glanced at Chen Xiao, then laughed and left.

The prefect looked at Chen Xiao and asked, "What did he say?"

"Tomorrow, three death row prisoners were killed at Caishikou at 3 noon, one of which was a scapegoat..." Chen Xiao replied.

The prefect frowned: "Go and ask those prison guards, they may know!"

Chen Xiao nodded: "Come on, bring some prisoners from the Ministry of Justice!"

Soon after, eight jailers were brought, Chen Xiao asked with a cold face:

"There are three death row prisoners to behead tomorrow?"

A jailer said, "Yes!"

Chen Xiao asked again: "What are their identities?"

The prison guard said: "One was a butcher who killed someone by chance. One was a village man who murdered children in the village, and the other was teasing the princess... This man seemed to be the younger brother of a big man. I don't know who it is!"

"That's it!" Chen Xiao said affirmatively.

The prefect nodded: "The younger brother of the big man... Haha, I am curious about which big man's younger brother?"

At this time, another prison guard from the Ministry of Justice spoke, "It seems to be Qingyuanhou's younger brother."

The prefect glared: "Qing... Qingyuanhou? He is really a big shot~"

After swallowing his saliva, the prefect said to Chen Xiao: "Officer Chen, this person can't afford to offend..."

"Marquis?"

Chen Xiao frowned. This title is amazing. The so-called title of marquis and prime ministers. If he is granted marquis and ministers, his status will not be worse than that of prime ministers.

Among the five titles of Duke, Marquis and Bozinan, Duke, Marquis and Bo has a high status. Although the Marquis corresponds to only the third rank, this honorary title is met by the Prime Minister and he must be treated politely.

So, when the prefect's face turned ugly when he heard the name Qingyuanhou.

He took a deep breath and looked at Chen Xiao and said:

"Official Chen, this is the right minister who deliberately cheated you. He deliberately said that one of the people he would be asked to kill tomorrow was to replace Qingyuanhou's brother to die, which would make it difficult for you to do!"

Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "I know... If I care about this, it would be offending Qingyuanhou. If I don't care... then I can't control it anymore."

The prefect said: "You can't care. Qingyuanhou is not something you can offend. Chen Xiao, this time, you admit defeat first!"

Chen Xiao was puzzled: "Although he is the marquis, there is no need to be that scary, right?"

"You don't know that when I was a small official in the Ministry of War, the Qingyuan Zheng Qingcheng was just a general. But at that time, he killed countless enemies on the battlefield and was famous to shock the enemy. He was really a terrifying person.

Later, because he broke into the depths of the enemy alone on the battlefield, killed dozens of enemy generals, and pulled a cart of enemy generals back. Therefore, he made great contributions and was named Marquis." At this point, the prefect had a trace of fear in his eyes.

He continued: "What scares this man is not his military position and title, but that he is too cruel and almost no one dares to offend him..."

Chen Xiao said: "Such a person is really scary. But there are some things that should be done, but you still have to do!"

"Aren't you afraid of him?" the prefect was puzzled.

Chen Xiao shook his head: "I don't know if I'm afraid or not, but I know, I can't be cowardly. That's not my style, so..."

Speaking of this, he smiled and then turned around: "Come on, follow me to Qingyuan Hou Mansion!"

The prefect's face changed and he said, "Chen Xiao, don't be impulsive. You go to the Hou's Mansion, there will be a lot of danger!"

Chen Xiao said: "Don't worry, I have my own solution!"

As he said that, Chen Xiao took dozens of Zao Li constables and left the government office directly.

Behind, the prefect looked at Chen Xiao's back nervously, and began to worry, reminding him:

"Then Qingyuanhou is bloodthirsty, don't anger him..."

However, Chen Xiao just waved his hand.

After leaving the government office, Chen Xiao asked the yamen runners who knew the road to take him along the way. Soon, he saw a magnificent mansion on the street.

The plaque on the door of the mansion reads: Qingyuan Hou Mansion!

Chen Xiao didn't think much about it, so he went forward and said to the doorman at the door: "I am a prosecutor of the government office. If there is a case, I need to go to the Marquis' Mansion to investigate!"

The door was stunned for a moment and said, "Let me report..."

As he said that, he left.

Soon after, the door came back: "The Marquis said that there is no case in the Marquis' Mansion, please leave!"

Chen Xiao snorted and said, "Come, come in!"

Immediately, he took the detective Zaoli and went in directly.

After entering the Marquis' Mansion, some servants rushed up immediately, holding sticks and long swords.

The detectives and soap clerks all pulled out their official swords and fought against them.

Seeing this, Chen Xiao scolded the servants and guards: "What do you want to do? Stop the government office from handling the case?"

These servants and guards looked at each other, a little unsure.

At this moment, a cold snorted, and in the hall opposite the yard, a burly middle-aged man stood there with a cold face.

Chen Xiao looked over and saw that the man was surrounded by a tiger's back and bear's waist, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a face full of murderous aura, and his eyes were cold. He stared at him, making people feel a little inexplicably afraid.

Chen Xiao frowned. Sure enough, he was worthy of being an existence that rushed out of countless troops on the battlefield. This momentum was really something that ordinary officials could do.

"You want to search my Marquis' Mansion?" Qingyuanhou Zheng Qingcheng spoke lightly.

Chen Xiao tried hard to calm his mind and said, "What's the problem!"

"I ask you, what are you going to search for!" Qingyuanhou spoke lightly, but was full of murderous aura.

Chen Xiao said: "Your brother!"

"He is in the Ministry of Justice prison. You are in the wrong place, get out!"

Chen Xiao sneered: "Have you come to the wrong place? You know in your heart that although you are a marquis, your brother breaks the law and offends the princess. He should die and make someone replace him. It's unreasonable..."

Qingyuanhou's face darkened and he said, "You are looking for death!"

"Is that so? I don't have much lifespan, so I'm not afraid of death!" Chen Xiao said with a smile.

Qingyuanhou said calmly: "Give you a chance, get out. If you stay again, I will make you a corpse."

Chen Xiao hurriedly said: "I look forward to your brother becoming a corpse~"

"Okay, since that's the case, I will fulfill you today."

The Qingyuanhou was indeed very murderous. After a disagreement, his face turned pale and rushed towards Chen Xiao quickly.

I saw him approaching Chen Xiaohou, raising his hand and gathering internal force in the palm of his palm, which was quite powerful.

Chen Xiao's face changed. He could sense that this palm was very strong. If he was hit, he would definitely die.

He didn't expect that Qingyuan Hou was so brave and could kill him as soon as he said he could.

At the same time, I realized that I was really deceived by the Right Assistant Minister.

The right minister deliberately said that Qingyuanhou's younger brother would also be replaced by a scapegoat tomorrow. Chen Xiao would lose if he didn't come, and he would be looking for death if he came.

Seeing that palm slashed, Qingyuanhou shouted: "Boy, die..."

Next moment ~

"Bikka~"

Qingyuanhou's body shook suddenly, and his murderous expression twitched, then he slowly fell to the ground, revealing Chen Xiao holding an electric baton.

Chen Xiao sneered and said in a pose:
Chapter completed!
